Walkers partner Noeleen Ruddy has been named Insurance & Reinsurance Lawyer of the Year at the Women in Business Law Awards for 2024.
Ms Ruddy, co-head of Walkers’ finance and capital markets team in Ireland, received the award at a ceremony in London late last month.
Walkers was also shortlisted in the jurisdictional award for Ireland.
Ms Ruddy previously won at the Women in Business Law Awards in 2022, scooping the award for Structured Finance Lawyer of the Year.
The Women in Business Law Awards recognise the achievements of women lawyers across the world and go through a comprehensive submission and research process.
On receiving the honour, Ms Ruddy said: “I’m absolutely delighted to have received this award. As a woman in business law this accolade is especially meaningful. Thank you to my clients, friends and colleagues at Walkers — your support means a lot.”
Jonathan Sheehan, managing partner of Walkers’ Dublin office, added: “This award is tremendously well-deserved recognition of the hard work and impeccable service that Noeleen provides to her clients and of her market-leading reinsurance practice in Ireland which is one of the many highlights of our global Insurance practice group.
“This is the second time that Noeleen has been named lawyer of the year in one of her practice areas. As a firm we are incredibly proud of the work Noeleen and her team does and we look forward to continued success.”
